Best Products for Thanksgiving in Maine

The turkey’s roasting in the oven with care, the potatoes are being mashed, and the “good” china (or Styrofoam platters—same thing!) is coming out. Seems you’re on your way to the annual [insert family name] Thanksgiving dinner somewhere in Maine. Before you head off to so-and-so’s house or all your guests start rolling in with their foil-covered casserole dishes, be sure to swing by Gram’s in Newport to stock up for the occasion. A few weed products on the menu are bound to be just what you need for specific Thanksgiving Day festivities.

1. Lemon Cherry Gelato Gold Blunt from Southie Adams

Best for: The annual walk with your favorite cousins.

You may not get to see them all that often but every year, it’s always the same: the childhood personalities and friendships formed are still alive and well. Before you set out on a neighborhood walk to get reacquainted with your crew of cousins, slip a Lemon Cherry Gelato Gold Blunt from Southie Adams into your coat pocket. This one’s good enough to share, and potent enough that if that one cousin gets to Bogarting, there’s still plenty to go around.

2. Booberry Flower from Midz

Best for: Before the pie is served.

You’ve just gorged yourself on turkey, dressing, and all the fixins. You’re not even sure you can hold another bite. But Gramma just pulled out her famous chocolate pie, someone brought that fluffy pink stuff you like, and there’s a pumpkin pie with your name on it. What do you do when you can’t hold another bite? Reach for pretty much any strain of Kush or Haze lineage that always delivers an appetite boost. Remember, strains like Jack Herer, Blueberry, Blue Dream, and Northern Lights all fall come from one of these lineages. Need one of the best? Booberry Flower from Midz always does the trick.

3. Pineapple 1:1 Nano Gummies from High Coast

Best for: Calming the pre-dinner jitters.

Life’s busy. People are more transient now than ever. For many families, this means events like Thanksgiving dinner are one of the few times of the year everyone is together in one place at the same time. No matter how much you love your family, seeing everyone all at once can still be a little nerve-rattling—understandable! If you’re a little unsettled before making your way into the familiar-but-rarely-seen crowd, Pineapple 1:1 THC:CBD Nano Gummies from High Coast will be the zen you need to keep your jitters at bay. These gummies contain equal parts of CBD and THC, so they’ll leave you at ease, sociable, and relaxed.

4. Pineapple Muffin Liquid Diamonds Vape from Blue Sky

Best for: Making Uncle Bob’s jokes far more entertaining.

We’ve all got that one family member, be it Uncle Bob or otherwise, who has all the dad jokes and old stories that everyone has heard at least a dozen times. Looking to make rehashing the same tired stories and lackluster punchlines a little more entertaining? Look for the Pineapple Muffin Liquid Diamonds Vape from Blue Sky. This Sativa-dominant vape brings all the giddiness to the Thanksgiving table with its euphoric energy, and it doesn’t hurt that it complements the pineapple-upside down cake just fine.

5. Black Cherry Hi5 Seltzers

Best for: Post-stuffing games and football-watching.

The bird’s been picked over, you ate way too much, someone has a football game on the tube and there’s a game of cards at the dinner table. Now would be the best time to pull out the weed seltzers to relax in the afterglow of all that Thanksgiving food. One of the best? Black Cherry Hi5 Seltzers are a go-to for after-dinner festivities because they provide a buildable buzz, they’re light, and refreshing. If you’ve got a few oldtimers at dinner who have only ever eaten a pot brownie, pull one of these out, and you’re bound to impress them and get a few bonus points that may carry over come Christmas.
